We performed the interior design for the newly opened "Good Morning Table" store located on the first basement level of the Takashimaya department store in Osaka. The store is the first to open nationwide under the theme "a crisp morning in Hokkaido" and proposes hearty sweets made using a maximum of fresh ingredients from Hokkaido.

The site is accessible from the Namba station concourse and is designed as an unpartitioned multi-functional space. Here, corrugated steel awnings offer a visual thread joining the deliverables, including the kitchen, sales and in-dining areas. We created a laid-back atmosphere like that of a shack in the middle of the pastures by applying mortar onto the floor to give it a soil tone and by using materials usually used for exterior or civil engineering applications, such as corrugated steel sheets for the awnings and galvanized steel sheets for the counters. Original illustrations depicting producers at work against a farm backdrop on a crisp morning are painted directly on the walls to communicate the brand's concept to customers.

By imagining the scenery associated with the producers, such as the pastures, the shack and marketplace combining a kitchen and sales counter, we sought to foster a sense of proximity with them.
